ENGLAND'S DEGRADATION.

What q degrading position England
occupies i'll the politics Of Europe to-day.
It very much resembles that Of a school,
boy bully who never misses an oppor-
tunity to inspire each newcomer with
his great power and Importance, but as
the new boy grows more robust and
stronger, the bully assumes another at
titude, and processes undying friend
ship for the boy he had previously DOM
ineered over. There is not a power in
all Europe to-day, no matter how insig-
niiicant, but what can conveniently sit
down upon England, fearless of any Sc
rious consequences resulting from such
line Of action. Even savage nations
elevate their ing-ornanented pro-
bosces to an angle of forty-fve degrees
at the self styled mistress of the sea. :
In years gone by it was the custom Of
England to fight, with or without rea-
son, always, Of course, providing she
had a pc cwerful ally to assist her, but
now she searches the continent OF Eu-
rope in vain for an ally, for even the
most insignificant fourth-rate power
spurns the degrading idea Of entering

OUR young and esteemed friend, Mr..
j. J. Linehan forwards us copy Of the
Manchester IN. H.) Union, of Dec. 80,
containing the report OF Mr.. Justin Nc
Carthy's lecture in that city the pre-
yious evening, from which we clip the
following extract: "When the King Of
England found that the Parliament
[Grattan'sl had set their hearts on the
emancipation Of Catholics, he decided
to abolish it. It was the same bigoted
George III. that drove your forefathers
to this country. There was at that time
q viceroy in Ireland, Lord F'itzWilliam.
He threw his whole soul into the eman-
cipation of the Irish people and tried to
get the king to consent to the passage
of the measures proposed by the people.
When the king found out his views he
recalled him, brought him back to Eng
land and to prison, and 1t was when the
Irish people knew of his recall that they
lost all nope for aid from George Ill.
This recall was turning point in the
history Of the Irish people. Up to this
time they were engaged in a loyal pur-
pose, but then they lost hope and flung
themselves into the great rebellion of
1796."

IT is reported on good authority that
Prussia is willing to allow the return of
certain religious communities, Oh the
condition, that they are to be placed
under police supervision. This is an in
tolerable insult to the Church. She is
thereby accused of sslnctioning institu-
tions and supporting individuals who
are on level with the vilest organiza-
tions and criminals. The government
knows we'll the injustice of
such demand. But the fact that even
an insinuation of that kind has been
made, shows but too plainly the too
much vaunted "peace-loving disposi-
tion" of Prussian diplomatists.

eigners who are quick to sneer at Amer

speak with disparagement Of the way in
which American journals and individ-

offers itself, ought todook at both sides
of the shield, and observe the readiness
and generosity with which our public

closed their career. 1T would be hard

No DOUBT many of our readers will
remember the Rev. Marcus O'Cleary,
P. r., who died in the county of Linn
erick recently, at an advanced age. He
was parish priest of Bulgaden and Bal
linavada, in the diocese Of Limerick,
and in his early days was one of the
foremost in the advocacy of the tenant
right movement, and with some others,
introduced the late Isaac Butt to Liner
ick. During his long career he was
ever prominent in the ranks of the Ma
tionalists, and on the memorable occa-
sion of Mr.. Parnell's first visit to
Limerick he occupied the position Of
chairman to the great monster meeting.
AS priest he was noted for the
assiduous way in which even up to the
last, heperformed his many and arduous
duties, and succeeded in winning the
love and respect of all with whom he
came in contact.

he closely scrutinized the accounts OF
the war and navy departments, and it
is scarcely necessary to remark that he
denies Lord Randolph's charges Of mall
administration. If Mr.. Goschen did
not say SO, he could scarcely justify his
action of accepting the Cabinet ap-
pointment under such shady circum-
stances, utnotwithstandin this asser-
tion 1t is believed that Lord Randolph
will make certain revelations some OF
these days that will take the wind out
of the new Chancellor Of the Ex-
chequer's sails. Be that as it may. by
the resignation of Lord Randolph the
imbecility and helpless condition OF the
Tory Government is fully exposed.
Lord Salisbury is now surrounded by a
horde of traitorous wolves, who care
naught for either the Government OF
the people; all they want is to get con-
troll of the reins of power long enough
to appease the hunger of their friends.
and then let chaos reign supreme. 1t
cannot last very long, for it is unrea,
sonable to suppose that the Tory office
holders are going to stand out in the
cold to make room for the Liberal dissi-
dents, without making some objection.
One thing is certain, that the resigna'
ton of Lord Randolph from the Sails
bury Cabinet has fallen like thunder,
bolt from clear sky. When papers OF
such political prominenceas the London
Times express the opinion that the
Cabinet will not be able to get along
without it's dashing and confessedly er
ratio young leader, it is not premature
to predict the immediate overthrow OF
the Tory Government. AS for the as
sertions of the Tories and some luke
warm Liberals that revolutions like the
Irish movement are the most likely tt
suffer by the pursuit Of side issues, We
regard as utterly groundless. The
movement has taken complete pre-
cedence in all matters now before the
British people, and even it the Irish
people desired to abandon it at the
present time they could not do so. It
is an ill-wind that blows nobody good
and it would be curious thing, indeed
if the floundering of Lord Randolph
Churchill through the political mire OF
Toryism should bring aboutthe realiza.
tion of Ireland's dream-self-g govern.
ment. Stranger things than that have
happened.

WE have received the first number of
a neat eight-page paper called the
Democrat, published in Saltwater, and
controlled by Mr. E. F. Barrett, late Of
the Aitkin Age. The Democrat, as its
name would indicate, will support the
"party of Jefferson and by the ability
displayed in its first issue, we feel safe
in yenturing the prediction that it will
become a power in the land, and do
much towards educating the people Of
its generation in the true principles of
Democracy, We wish Mr.. Barrett sue

Poor Joe Chamberlain is making a
desperate effort to ally himself with
some political party, the particular
party not so much an object-but it
must be a party. From the present out
look il appears as if Joseph would not
succeed, but he will likely reap the re-
ward that generally falls to the lot of
traitor. Referring to Chamberlain. the
London Times says that while that
gentleman regards himself as perfectly
loyal to Lord Harrington, he has un-
doubtedly made overtures to the Glad
stonian party for g. reunion.

COMING events cast their shadows

deep last week; will Sir John A. Mac

forthcoming Dominion elections? Tha
defeat Of Sir John would mean starya-

themselves from receiving a fair share
